| Danbury, in southwestern Nebraska, is a very small town on the old Chicago Burlington & Quincy's St. Francis Line (originally built by the Oxford & Kansas Railroad). When I first visited in 1980, the station (built in 1887) was still located adjacent to the tracks, having closed in August 1979. In 1981 the station was moved downtown (well, to as much of a "downtown" as a town of about 100 people can have) and is undergoing restoration. This line, now owned by the Nebraska Kansas Colorado Railroad, see one train per day, westbound on Monday and eastbound on Tuesday, etc. (with no service on Sunday). |
